Billy drew out his cell. The moment he saw the numbers displayed on caller ID, his brows moved slightly. He then glanced at Sherman subconsciously.
Sherman was putting a coat on Charlotte, afraid that she would catch a cold. Hence, she did not notice his behavior.
Billy then took two steps back and picked up the call," Hello."
"Billy, I have arrived at the airport. I suddenly missed you since our last call during the afternoon, so I bought a flight ticket to return to Santatabaca from San Marcaome. Even I myself feel that it was an impulsive decision. I guess you are still busy so I went to hotel."
Billy hesitated for a moment before he said, "You're at the airport, right? I'll come to pick you up."
Then, he approached Sherman and handed her the car key. "Honey, I have to pick up a client at the airport. You drive home first."
"What time will you be back?" Sherman took the car key.
"I can't tell yet at the moment, but it won't be later than ten o'clock. I love you, honey," as he spoke, he
leaned over and kissed Sherman's lips, "Drive safe." "Uncle kissed Auntie Sherman," Charlotte giggled.
Sherman pushed him away, reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear, and said with a smile, "There is a child here. You should go."
She never asked him about his work matters. That was the freedom and right a man should enjoy, and she did not want to bind him too tight. 1
Then, after the three bid goodbye, Sherman drove away first. Summer wanted to take Charlotte from Mark but she refused and continued to cling to Mark.' Uncle said he is going to fly kites with me tomorrow!'
"You can bring her with you. I will pick her up when I return to Nokocola Bay." Upon seeing this, Summer withdrew her hand.
"Well, let's head back to apartment first. I have something to talk to you. Some clothes of yours and Charlotte's are still there." He looked at her. There was a glint of deep light in his eyes.
She did leave some clothes and bags in the apartment, and she would not have time to purposely go there to collect them after returning to Nokocola Bay.
